I WAS disgusted to read last week that Vale Royal Borough Council has axed plans to build a new sports complex down our river.

It's no wonder children these days have nothing to do. I myself am a keen canoeist and I have seen many children happily learning new skills in canoes, staying off the streets, and doing something good and interesting.

I just don't understand why Vale Royal Borough Council is taking children's learning facilities away to build a new pub. I think we all have our own views on another pub and most are not welcome.

Just what have children got to do in Winsford today?
